Wow. This is the only lengthy training video on RU-vid. Nowadays, most young wait staffs don't know how to carry oval trays. Those can handle it well are probably 40 or older. Tray carrying is slowly becoming a lost art.
so i just started serving, i have my first server training shift tmrw and im just curious, when you’re carrying a loaded tray do you usually ask someone to follow you with a tray stand, or do you bring it out before the food, or do you carry it with the tray? while i was expo training i found it incredibly hard to carry a full tray with only one hand. i know most of the time you will have tables open to set trays down on but for instance when i was expo it was a friday night during the busiest time of the night and a lot of times there was no empty tables to put trays down on. luckily i had my trainer with me who would bring the tray stands for me but i feel like it wont be like that when server training
This is a great question. In a restaurant setting, typically the tray stand is brought out before you (Experts are able to carry the tray stand in one hand and the loaded tray in the other at the same time). In a formal banquet or fine dining settings, the tray stands are typically set out along the walls of the venue prior to the start of the event. They are not placed close to the table or guests at all. Thanks for watching. If you are looking for jobs in serving feel free to get in contact with us at www.stssinc.com.
@@marisalopez5608 Great Question! A lot of formal events will definitely have along the side walls no matter how big the room is. In this case, the waitstaff will have to walk back and forth from the tables to the trays with the plates in each hand. Both to serve the food and to clear the dishes
if the service is buffet only you don't need jack stand and oval tray even the program said they have limited time left.FYI,a full blooded banquet staff should be easily clear all 10 plates in 1 shot otherwise that gap must be solve.If it is set menu no need as well as sufficient staff is allocated.Jack stand and oval tray is allowed from my experiences if the guest overflow which is not supposed to be as everything should be handled well by events manager otherwise that gap must be solve asap.I only experience using jack stand and oval tray when we have a meeting and lunch event for 200 pax out of nowhere all casual staff didn't arrive on duty as strike happen from their agency however myself and my manager handle it without any complain.I handle 20 tables alone palcing 4 jack stand each corner then my manager he handle the buffet alone.Cold and Hot food AltoSham I place next to him then the oval tray i place with assorted softdrinks it is extremely heavy however I enjoy it all of the guest were looking at as I am sweating but with a big smile from my heart.I never wasted any move I made that time,fyi you can't bend your knees when carrying trays banquet staff is a food handlers were trained not to touch anything on the floor during service now if incase we do you cant lift the tray above your head with plates on it along the left over food that is not existing in 5 star hotel.It is very rare to find now a banquet staff can carry 10 plates with use cutleries and left over food on it and clearing it in 1 shot.It is extremely superheavy.Carrying 6 highball glassess in a service tray continously for 10 minutes without any movement is for elite banquet staff that is a rare to find now but it exist and I've seen before and work with them.I wish I could train you guys there ....
